Housed in a handsome restored jail, built around 1887 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the museum interprets life of early settlers with farm and forest implements, turn-of-the-century household articles, historic photos, weapons, and law enforcement artifacts. From the building's past, there is a cell block, the hangman's drop, and jailer's quarters still existant.
